Dal Forno Amarone 2001 is a full-bodied appassimento-style red wine from the Valpolicella region of Veneto. Located in the Val d’Illasi in the Veneto, the Dal Forno family have been making wine since 1983 and their estate spans 65 acres of vines. A protégé of the great Giuseppe Quintarelli, Romano Dal Forno is renowned for his scrupulously hardworking commitment to his craft, both in the vineyard and the cellar. On the 2001 Dal Forno Amarone. "The 2001 Amarone is on another level entirely. It exudes notable warmth and ripeness, with profound layers of Venezuelan bitter chocolate, herbs, liquorice, smoke, dark fruit and toasted oak. Made in an explosive style, this palate-staining Amarone possesses remarkable detail and nuance for such a big wine. It has been phenomenal on the two occasions I have tasted it so far."
